A new international study has uncovered a concerning lack of public understanding about cystitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs) – common health issues that disproportionately affect women.

Spiky nanorobots powered by magnets have been developed to carry drugs and pierce tumor cell membranes, a key barrier to effective cancer treatment. By boosting drug entry, these "microscopic scalpels" improved chemotherapy results in laboratory and animal studies, suppressing tumor growth and extending survival.

Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death mechanism, is emerging as a promising target for cancer therapy. The process is mediated by the activity of acyl-CoA synthetase family member 4 (ACSL4) protein.
